LUMA and Praekelt.com have co-created a chatbot that makes legal help available and accessible to all South Africans.
LUMA walks the justice journey with its users, who can now access legal information and advice at any time of the day or night. From the comfort of their own palms, South Africans can learn about the law and how it could affect their everyday decisions – both big and small.

In the recent judgment of Gold One Limited v Madalani and Others [2020], the Labour Court confirmed that intolerability is a high threshold in constructive dismissal matters. Intolerability is more than a working environment or working under employment conditions that are difficult, unpleasant or stressful.

Even before the pandemic, statistics released by the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (Sadag) showed that as many as one in six South Africans suffer from anxiety, depression or substance-use problems. Aside from the personal toll it takes on individuals, depression alone is estimated to cost South Africa R232-billion a year due to lost productivity.

Teachers unions have warned that the Department of Basic Education must have contingency measures in place in case of a possible second wave next year when schools re-open in January.

The South African Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu) and National Professional Teachers Organisation of South Africa (Naptosa) said yesterday they want the department to be ready for this.
This follows the latest reports about a possible second wave of Covid-19 in the next few months.

One of the most common sexual complaints among couples is a disparity in sexual desire. Sexual desire can be low for a variety of reasons, many of them psychological and interpersonal. But that doesn't necessarily make it a disorder. It becomes a diagnosable condition only when it diminishes the quality of one's life and creates distress, or when a disparity arises in the sex drives of partners, evolving into a matter of unresolved contention in the relationship.

Guest: Dr Thabani Nkwanyana, Independent Medical Practitioner with interest in human rights, ethics and social sciences.

The South African government has initiated a process to formalise and regulate the country’s large, yet informal minibus taxi industry, with a view to making it viable and free of violence.

The government envisions the industry being restructured “along legally recognised business units” that pay corporate tax and comply with labour laws.
Formalisation will eventually pave the way for taxi commuters to benefit from public transport subsidies, resulting in cheaper fares.
